You will handle a complex caseload and act as an expert in Level 3 specialist support coordination, assisting participants at the specialist level in implementing their NDIS plan to maximise choice, control, and engagement with high-quality service providers.
As a Specialist Support Coordinator you will lead the coordination and implementation of multi-faceted support responses within the parameters of the NDIS, for and with clients, their carers, guardians, and their support teams.

- You are curious, a keen learner, and love a challenge.
- Cultural awareness and inclusivity are key elements of your practice.
If you’re ready to apply your skills to make a difference in the lives of people experiencing significant complexity, we’d love to hear from you. Our team members are rewarded with above award remuneration together with development and career enhancement through regular supervision, formal structured and unstructured professional development opportunities, and an organisational focus on continuous learning.
